Gunshots were fired tonight at Ernie's Car Wash on Grove Street, and police are investigating.

A witness said he heard five loud bangs around 7 p.m., then saw a man running up Grove Street, toward North Street. He said the man appeared to have been firing at a car being washed in one of the do-it-yourself bays.

Shell casings were marked with small cards near one of the vacuums, and police taped off a portion of the business. Detectives and crime scene unit officers also arrived .
